The New Barbarians
We note with sad concurrence many of the comments made
recently at Brigham Young University during the
commencement address delivered by Dr. John A. Howard,
president of Rockford College.
“During the last decade." he said, “a slow-moving decline
of character in our country has developed into an
avalanche...The moral depravity of what appears on
television is rivaled by the moral tone of many campuses
where cohabitation is a commonplace and where the use of
illegal drugs does not even raise an eyebrow...
“The radical quartet of seductive sirens - filthy speech,
marihuana, sexual liberation, and defiance of the military
draft - signing with soothing and self-righteous sophistry,
lured young people onto the shoals of personal and public
anarchy where no rules or laws were acknowledged other than
their own whim« and passions...The do-your-own-thing
philosphy has spread throughout the country... (This)
philosophy is. by definition, anti-social...If a person actually
lives according to the belief that there are no restrictions upon
his conduct other than what he chooses for himself, that
person is actually a barbarian. The nightmare stories of the
SLA and the Manson family make it clear that there are in
American today 24-karat barbarians, who have carried this
depraved philosphy all the way to its ultimate degree of evil. "
What is to be done about the state of affairs?
There can be no such thing as moral neutrality, Dr. Howard
maintains. “We seem." he said, “to be caught in a
circumstance where the spokesmen who are opposed to our
traditional religious and civic virtues are either greater in
number than their opponents, or else are given more
opportunities to be heard and read. That situation will persist
until enough worthy and intelligent people decide they will no
longer permit truth to be outraged by their silence.”
Exactly. If we want to dean up the moral filth that has so
polluted our society, then good and righteous men must stand
up for what they believe. We cannot afford the luxury of
concerning ourselves only with our own personal affairs.
Otherwise we will surrender our birthright and our heritage to
the new barbarians.

LETTER
TO EDITOR
Editor, The Journal:
As citizens and taxpayers
of Nyssa, we wonder where it
will all end. First, a totally
outlandish and ridiculous
school. It looks more like a
prison than a school. The
electrician that was fired for
making much milder state­
ments than that about the
school should have been
applauded, not fired. The
type and amount a building
costs does not make a school.
If you have good teachers, a
bam is sufficient.
Now. some people want
this new housing project for
the migrant workers. What a
FARCE!! All most taxpayers
have left tn their pockets is
lint. We understand it's the
farmers that want this
project. However, all the
farmers we've talked to. and
we’ve talked to a lot of them,
said they definitely do not
want this. Also, we heard it
would help the businessmen
of Nyssa by bringing more
people in to spend their
money in Nyssa’s stores.
HOG WASH!! Most of the
migrants are on food stamps
and medical funds frori the
government. As far as
clothing and other merchan­
dise. these people aren't
fools. They're like most
people, if they can save
monev by traveling to Cald­
well. Parma, or Ontario; they
sure will.
In response to the so-
called unanimous vote by the
Chamber of Commerce, we
understand there were only
eight members present. The
City Council rejected the
idea. When do the rest of the
people get their chance to
vote whether they want to
pay more taxes for something
else we don't need.
Some people are getting
way out of hand with the
spending of other people's
money, Maybe they can
afford it. but we sure can’t.
Where does it all stop?
Is there anyone else that
has stopped and thought
about a few of these things,
or are they going to sit back
and take it, no matter what is
dished out??

Many have a wrong idea of
Christianity. They flunk of it
as a killjoy. For the Christian
life, as it is generally lived, is
not a happy life.
A keen observer once said,
“There are some Christians
who seen', to have a religion
that makes them miserable.
They’re like a man with a
headache. He doesn’t want
to get rid of his head, but it
hurts him to keep it. You
can’t expect outsiders to seek

Teton Disaster Site
By Nell Bowers
Kerma and Brig Olsen
visited their son Garth and
family in Rexburg. Idaho last
week and were able to view
some of the Teton Dam
disaster. The following are
some of the things they saw.
They visited Sugar City.
Here in the middle of all the
buildings wrecked and wa­
shed away sat a little old
house probablv built before
the turn of the century,
sitting all by itself, a small
two-story affair, no paint,
afso a short distance in the
rear, a small frame garage
untouched Next door was a
foundation of a large home
and out in front a fine row of
petunias, blooming away.
A family lost four horses
They looked and looked for
them, finding three and
brought them home. After a
week, the other horse came
home. Noone knew where he
had been.
Someone heard a cow
bawling. They moved a big
trailer off a box car, and in
the box car. were five big
Holstein cows, one dead. The
owner said. "That’s my
start."
There are lots of cows and
horses on islands in the river.
Nothing but mud. No way to
get them off as they arc very
frightened of the water now.
There are cars sitting
everywhere, in fields, ditches
trees . In the town of
Rexburg, the stores look
normal, with the windows
out, but when you look in. the
floors are gone, nothing.
Along the roads they
traveled, there were all
sorts of things, tricycles.
toys, house furniture-they
even saw a sewing machine.
No one comes to claim them
and no one can pick them up.
Safeway store went right
to work, selling food. The
prices were less than they are
here, so they are not taking
advantage of people's trou­
bles. Sunday everyone was
traveling around. The police
were stopping them and
asking them to go home.
Where the water
has
gone, the grain is growing
beautifully.
Out in these fields lots of
machinery is twisted and
piled by the water.
Two bulldozers were at the
last minute frantically trying
to fill in the hole in the dam.
The men finally jumped. One
bulldozer was found but the
other has never been located.
In Sugar City, the church
looks exactly like a big
bulldozer went right through
it.
One family moved right
back into their new home, It
looked fine, no damage. They
moved right back out—the
smell was unbearable They
are having to tear off all the
sheetrock and the insulation
to get rid of it. The insulation
molds. They are having to
dnll holes in the partitions at
the top and bottom and put a
hove in to wash the mud out
of them
Out of Sugar City, they
saw the big white house that
was pictured in the Boise
paper It was tipped over a
little but not a window broken
out.
A friend of Garth's
in
Sugar City lost his living
room off his new home. The
fireplace was still sitting
there He was the only one
starting to replace anything,
that the Olsens saw. He was
doing it on his own.
Saturday, fifteen school
buses arrived in Rexburg,
loaded with people from
Utah, who were going to help
over the fourth of July
weekend
